!*****Official Iowa @ Pleasantville Nebraska Game Thread*****!

Let's set aside the bickering about Bohannon and acknowledge Baer. 11 rebounds and 6 blocks tonight! The guy may not score a lot of points, but he brings so much to the table that it outweighs the lack of scoring by a mile.

Baer was incredible tonight. Same with Jok and Moss is the first half
 
Baer is great. And it's good that he is because this team cries out for leadership without Jok. It probably shouldn't have to be a former walk-on, but I'm glad he's around. Iowa gets blown out tonight without him.

I know he gets the former walk on tag but he's a lot more talented than many scholarship players in this conference
 
Bohannon didn't make a clutch 3 in regulation, in fact his only points in regulation was the long three on the tap out rebound in the first half. He did make one three in the first overtime, but was 1-5 from three in both overtimes. He did do a nice job protecting the ball after three turnovers in the first half and none after.
 
Uhl is a non-factor. Sad to see it again tonight.
Name any other team starting/playing four frosh playing as well as we are. Brighter days await.
 
This game is much more than a loss....

The YoungHawks have proved that they are for Real and.....

Not to be taken lightly, by anyone, home or away.....

Huskers deserved to win, just as the Hawks would have. This was a Great basketball game, as Good as it Gets.....

The future looks Very Bright. Fran and the team are establishing a very nice foundation for the future of Hawkeye basketball.....

:cool:

He had a dunk and three rebounds in five minutes, pretty productive spell off the bench. Probably what we can expect from now on unless he can start hitting some threes to earn back minutes.

Him and Williams don't expect the ball to go in when they shoot.
 
Nope. Do you think that somehow proves anything?

Nope, just like I don't think his last game proved anything either. I look at the bigger picture and don't live life being reactive. There's a thread blaming Jok for the loss. That is absolutely insane

What's the point of this.....?

He has definitely shown a lot that is worthy of praise. He is by no means a finished product.
 
He hit clutch shots, just not the game winner. You really wonder why you are called out as a clone troll? Whether you are or not, your post isn't one a Hawk fan makes
Watch the game again. Not going to further engage you, not interested in your repetitive, circular, arguments.
My life, lo, my existence is a circular argument between good and evil :)

Wasn't there a thread last year to nickname Baer or to compare him to all things phenomenal? Good gracious. He seriously comes flying out of nowhere. He reminds me the part in Rudy where the janitor is telling Rudy how proud he is.

"You're 6 foot nothing.. A hundred and nothing...you don't have a lick of athletic talent...and you hang with the best basketball teams in the land. In this life you don't got to apologize to nobody for nothing"

Baer is hard to describe, easy to appreciate.
